23rd-3rd December - Perth
Civilisation – wahey! It’s almost weird being in a city after the experience of the outback. I’d rung Dave and Nick saying we’d be in town as we’d all arranged to hook up for a beer or two. Dave was a star though and me to stay while we sorted ourselves out – winner. We didn’t think we’d be staying long as we would be heading up to Gingin to do some seasonal/rural work, but we still needed to arrange that. The lads had organized poker anyway, Texas hold-em.
All in all, we had a busy week – off to meet Katie’s folks, Ann n Bernie, down in Munster – having been e-mailing Ann for about a year on and off after getting in touch about engineering opportunities. It was lovely to meet them at last and they’d also offered for me to stay the night and I’m glad I did cos it was the comfiest nights sleep I can remember – great bed!!
The G-g's...
After a quick jaunt up to Gingin to arrange work, we got ready for some horse racing – Ascot. Dave n Nick were off down there with a gang and invited us down – wicked.
In the end, we stayed about 10 days, the work in Gingin coming through for us – I was off chicken farming; Initially just for 2 weeks, as we were driving off to Melbourne for crimbo/New Year – catching up with Glyn, Neil, Troods – woo hoo. Actually, it was about this time I got an e-mail from Leece, saying she was gonna be down in Melbourne with Neil n Troods and wanted to make sure that her and I would be OK, which I thought was nice, considering we hadn’t been in touch for 8-odd months.
Is it a bird...?!
Finished off with a trip to Freo and walked into a carnival there - closing the week's fun. I liked Freo, have to say, nice atmosphere and we spent a lovely afternoon walking around the centre, before discovering the Little Creatures brewery - heh heh!!
